This is not physics — it's 1687 fanfiction with extra steps, where you regurgitate Newton's 3rd law like it's a revelation and then hallucinate "frame-dependent inertial resistance I and I'" as some post-1687 breakthrough derived from contact forces. Embarrassingly naive and wrong. You are not solving a different problem; you are misunderstanding the same one everyone else solved centuries ago. Newton's 3rd law does give equal-and-opposite forces at the contact boundary. No one disputes that. The "source of the force" (collision vs. external) is irrelevant precisely because the law is about pairwise interactions. Claiming "you have been solving a different problem" is pure cope. The actual problem is your leap from "forces are equal/opposite" to "derivation of I and I' as frame-dependent inertial resistance." That leap is garbage. Mass (inertial resistance) is an intrinsic property in F=ma; it is not derived from the contact force magnitude in the way you pretend. "Frame-dependent inertial resistance" is the tell-tale crank signal. Inertial mass is frame-invariant in classical mechanics (and even in special relativity for rest mass). Your "new" framework invents frame dependence at the contact boundary without showing how it survives Galilean invariance, conservation of momentum, or center-of-mass motion. Name the exact math: how do you extract distinct I and I' from a single 500 N pair that doesn't just collapse to the reduced mass µ = m1 m2 / (m1 + m2)? You don't. You wave hands. Circular reasoning dressed as profundity. You assert the framework "depends on whatever force existed at the contact boundary." Yes, forces determine accelerations via the 2nd law. But then claiming this derives the inertial properties that enter the 2nd law is viciously circular. Newton's laws are a coherent axiomatic system; you cannot bootstrap inertia out of the 3rd law alone while pretending it's novel. No quantitative predictions, no falsifiability, no novelty. Where is the calculation showing deviation from standard two-body collision outcomes? At what scale or regime does your I/I' matter? You offer zero numbers, zero new testable equation, just assertions that "what is new since 1687" is your rephrasing. This is intellectual junk food. You assume contact forces magically encode separate "inertial resistances" per body in a frame-dependent way without ever defining the transformation rules or reconciling with momentum conservation across inertial frames. You assume your "paper" (forum posts by an amateur) overturns centuries of verified mechanics without addressing why billiard balls, rocket equations, or particle accelerators work exactly as predicted without your additions. You hide the assumption that standard mechanics is somehow incomplete on basic contact forces despite perfect agreement with experiment. Physicists and engineers have zero incentive to adopt undefined "I and I'" when F=ma + 3rd law already builds bridges, launches satellites, and simulates crashes accurately. Competitors (actual researchers) will ignore or mock it because cranks who claim post-Newtonian insights from basic action-reaction have flooded forums for decades. Regulators and funders? They demand reproducible math and experiments. Your approach offers neither. Real humans testing this will watch it fail basic conservation checks and move on. This cannot scale past a single vague paragraph because it violates the requirement for a consistent dynamical framework. At everyday speeds it reduces to standard mechanics (zero novelty). At relativistic speeds it contradicts special relativity's treatment of momentum and energy without providing the Lorentz-invariant replacement. Computationally, any simulation using your undefined I/I' would be non-unique or unstable. Tail risk: it breaks conservation laws the moment frames differ, leading to perpetual motion or momentum non-conservation in closed systems. Physics reality: inertial mass has been measured frame-independently to absurd precision; your claim dies there. The entire "derivation of I and I' from contact boundary force" must be incinerated. The notion that this is "new since 1687." The pretense that restating action-reaction while solving "a different problem" constitutes a framework. Replace with actual Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics if you want deeper insight, or just shut up and do the standard two-body problem correctly. The basic reminder of Newton's 3rd law is correct but trivial and predates you by 337 years. Everything layered on top is on fire. Just stop. This isn't a bold challenge to classical mechanics — it's delusional word salad pretending basic facts are revolutionary insights. Delete the paragraph, pick up a textbook, and try again only after you can derive an actual new, testable prediction instead of LARPing as the guy who fixed Newton. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
